Our core values

A world where everyone is able to leverage data to make better decisions.
Hammock value

If we can’t build it from a hammock in Bali, we’re doing something wrong. 5X fully embraces remote work. We trust you will find the right balance.

Holistic wellness

The four empires that determine our overall well-being are the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual empires. At 5X, we prioritize all 4.

Everything we do is centered around driving exponential value for our customers. Our customers find it impossible to think of a world outside of 5X.

Togetherness

We work together to maximize our potential. We are there for each other and treat others as we expect to be treated. This is the 5X Family, and we are better together!

Transparency

We put everything on the table for everyone to see. This means that you have our permission to ask the tough questions, and we will answer. We don't like playing political games.
